N = 75,000*(1/2)^(h/4) . . . . N = number alive; h = hours

3000 = 75000*(1/2)^(h/4) . . . . . substitute given numbers
1/25 = (1/2)^(h/4) . . . . . . . . . . . . . .divide by 75000
log(1/25) = (h/4)*log(1/2) . . . . . . . take the log, then divide by the coefficient of x
h = 4*log(1/25)/log(1/2) ≈ 18.6 . . . . hours

___
Of course log(1/25) = -log(25) = -2log(5), so the expression for h can be written as h = 8log(5)/log(2)

What is the mean in 74,75,80,76,75,81,78?
Alina [70]

Answer:

77

Step-by-step explanation:

Add the numbers together, then divide them to how much numbers are there.

74 + 75 + 80 + 76 + 75 + 81 + 78 = 539

Since there are 7 numbers, you divide 539 by 7.

539/7 = 77
